Little Shmoo's Top Five Countdown #2

The second thing out of shmoo's mouth when I asked him what his favorite lunches were was "...and the Twinkie Dogs!" So here they are, Yves veggie dogs baked inside a cornbread batter and packed with ketchup, baked potato chips, peas & carrots (I cut the carrot with my nifty new curvy cutter!), and an orange.

I first made Twinkie Dogs on March 7th; follow the link to get the recipe and find out how it's done.

Verdict: These have been some empty-looking lunch boxes! I found a couple wayward peas and orange rinds left. 5 stars for Number 2.

See you Monday with Number One! I've been having so much fun reading everyone's guesses! I think you'll all be as surprised as I was...

what's the curvy cutter? I'm a kitchen gadget addict! I just got a spiroli (sp?) anyways, it's SUPER! and my kids are already out of school, but have requested twinkie dogs for monday's lunch (they're coming to work with me---ack.)thanks for the SUPER blog!

Since no one has guessed number 1 yet, I will guess that it is something so simple that everyone has overlooked it. Perhaps one of the faux meat and faux cheese combo sandwiches or the cat shaped pb&j.

I wanted to thank you for recommending World Vegetarian on your site. I also picked it up after seeing it here and I'm enjoying all the tasty bean recipes. My favorite so far was the Capriot Lima Bean Stew.

Oh, I am torn! Can't wait to see # 1. Can't stand the thought of no more VLB!!!!

As as to what that # 1 might be....Since it appears that no one has guessed it yet, I'll take a second try and guess it was the lunch Shmoo made himself. BUT, I also reserve the right to pole the audience, and call a friend :-)

My guess is the Mac 'n Peas, since you said he can eat bowls and bowls of it!

So over the summer, will you still show us what he eats for lunch? I'm using a lot of your suggestions to plan my own kids' meals, even though we aren't vegans. You serve so many fresh fruit and veggies that I would never think of!

ooh..Im getting anxious! I loved these cute little twinkie dogs when you first did them! I really want to try it, but I dont have the pans! haha I have absolutely no idea what Shmoo's number one will be, but I bet we'll all love it!

I know - I can't wait to see either...I'm guessing it's something either really simple that most kids love (ie, PB&J) or something complex that would be the furthest thing you could think of...can't wait!!

I saw the pan for these at www.gooseberrypatch.com if anyone is having trouble finding them. They call it the Cream Canoe Pan. You can see it here: http://www1.gooseberrypatch.com/gooseberry/products.nsf/v.weball/K204?editdocument&lid=is_K204&cartprocess=vimgics
